THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

New York city attracts the anxious
attention Of the whole country in regard
TO its municipal election. Colonel Eel
lows, the Democratic candidate for Dis
trict Attorney, is the local centre Of the
Cleveland influence, and it is believed
generally that the bitter opposition to
him and the fierce assaults that he has
provoked, are melted by an organized
plan to break up the denomination Of
Cleveland in the citadel where he FIRST
set up his policy Of reform and began
the career that at present places him in
the front Of the Democratic party for the
Presidency in 1888
The President has seen fit to take
hand in the. New York election 50 far as
to express openly and very heartily his
wish that Colonel Fellows should be
elected. We believe that a party re-
presenting true principles Of Democracy
against the false and dangerous ideas of
Republicans ought to show its power and
win the coming battle. Perhaps mere
human selfshness and ambition may be
part of the motive, but these feelings
have the excuse of good purpose for the
whole country, and if Mr. Cleveland as
great party leader as well as a President
can honestly strengthen and justify his
party and himself at the same time in
Heavens name let him do it
Now is the time He has the confidence
Of the patriotic element of the country, |
and if party power is the nearest and /
only way to save us from Radical rule, I.
let us have a little more party spirit than /
the President has heretofore chosen 60 T
encourage.
New York is the pivotal point Of the
great battle of 1855. HE President
would be wise and patriotic to seize it at
the propitious moment, and saving
himself he will also save D. his party and
his country.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY.

A political canvass IL necessarily ex
cited and generally reason has no
much part in IL but the present on'
appeals TO something in the average
citizens mind deeper than passion
or party loyalty. The State OF
Virginia Is in the peculiar attitude OF
presenting difficulty that neither party
shows u way how TO settle and II IS use
less TO twist that difficulty into an issue
which would cause a discussion on quib-
bles. The question Of the debt will be
settled by a higher authority than the
State and as the decision will only be
given after the election, let us leave spec
ulation out Of the question.
The point presented to the minds Of
the Democrats Of Virginia who have
vastly the majority, is, whether they can
afford TO leave their party in the lurch,
stay at home from spite OF indifference,
and let the Republican minority take
possession Of the State and put tn Dan
vile massacre brokers in power 10 de-
bauch the offices and the character Of the
State i'm the interest of John Sherman,
Foraker, Malone, John Wise, Joe De
vine, and the rest of the men of that sort
whose political business is the ring rule
that we have seen when Arthur was
President.
The feeling and pride Of every Demo
crat in Virginia reyolts at the idea Of
domination by such men as we have
named When one of the minions of
this gang dared in the law abiding and
peaceful community Of Richmond to ex-
press sympathy for the murderous Anar-
chists, and thereby represent this Malone
fraud Of reform in the light Of a crime
that even Communists disown, the people +
suddenly perceived that there was some
thing more dangerous in our midst than
MahoneisDl
If any Democrat who has the faintest |
idea OF the principles OF his party has |
been led into the Malone Reform move |
ment without knowing its intentions it
would be well for him to retrace his steps /
quickly before he finds himself blackened /
with the a ISOLATION of men who follow
Mr. Joe DeVine, Anarchist.
As for the Democrats who think OF
giving away the power Of the majority
INTO the hands of Malone just from in
difference, we have only to say that the
Of a Democratic defeat
will involve them in a heavy response
